How to check out 50 to PDC standard: the recommended route, correct alternatives and plan B when a dart goes astray.

Recommended route

1 dart

Bullseye · 50

Why this route? The route ends on the bullseye — for scores above 158 it's the only way to finish in three darts. Pros deliberately aim at the bull here instead of a double.

Correct alternatives

Every route is mathematically correct (last dart = double). Pick the one whose segments suit you best:

10 · 10
Double 20 · 40
Double 5 · 10
Double 20 · 40
18 · 18
Double 16 · 32

Knowing the route doesn't hit the double

Yes. The recommended route is Bullseye. This page also lists correct alternatives in case other segments suit you better.

Most players set up double 16 (32 left) or tops (double 20, 40 left): both halve nicely after a narrow miss into the single bed. More important than the “perfect” double is practising the same favourite every time.
